CHAMPIONS STAR LANE Herman's Return to Bums Poses Question: Who's Going to Sit Up Nights With His Turkeys? Sport Parade Cardinals As of Old-Gas Gang Nag?

In the latter role turkej's he built up a most profitable busine thus belying the wiseacres who inferred Herman was not smart merely because he ran into twifp jams as a baserunner. 'Them affairs weren't all ray fault," Herman explained of thi time he tripled into a double pliiy, always, had a of left-footed runners hitting ahead of. me." He has always been quite willing to discuss the turkey business at great length.

He was kind enough, for example, to explain that ft butcher is giving you a fast shuffle when he sells a small turkey f.s 4 "tender young bird." All turks the market are the same agei sn-yS Do you have days when you just can't drag yourself to work? Well, that's how Tiny Tim must have felt when it came his turn to go into the starting gate at Tijuana, Mexico. Starter Wes Nary, extreme right, and others finally convinced him it was the proper thing to do but, needless to say, Tim turned in a rather half-hearted effort. BY AL VERMEER NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 9. At 42, Floyd (Babe) Herman has rejoined the Dodgers and kindly do not get the notion that this is merely a Brooklyn publicity stunt designed to lure the curious to Ebbets Field. For the Babe can still give that big yellow bat a terrific swish.

He can still fulfill all the duties of a pinch batsman, which is precisely why the Dodgers want him. Herman himself will tell you he would still have been in the majors these past eight years had not some 5,002 obstacles held him back. Two of these were his feet which were growing unwilling after untold jaunts around the bases, some of them better left untold. The other obstacles were the turkeys which Babe raises on his gi gantic ranch in Southern Call- "WVE GOT TO hJAlT UNTIL fornia. For the past few seasons Herman played with the Hollywood club, which permitted him to remain close to his 5,000 turks.

He and Charles Root, now with Columbus, gave Hollywood a real National League flavor. Babe did even more. As a pinch hitter, he was the most respected batsman to plant a weary foot in a West Coast batters' box. When we saw Herman out there a year ago he was grousing about the miseries of a batting slump. "Last seven times up I hit seven line drives and all of em caught," he moaned.

"But hitting line drives cannot constitute a slump merely a run of bad luck," we offered cheerfully. Herman kicked at the dust and replied: "Maybe it does to you, mister, but not to me. When I don't get base hits I calls it a slump," And that is the wf.y this man has lived for base hits and turkeys. Zivic Tape Silks Jar Cressona To Bolster Record SOX WIP CHALLENGE NDS Brincash OufdueEs Wisnewski, Thomas; Hurls Three-Hitter In Club's 12th Wirt Those Star Lane Sox today believed to have the championship of the Twin-County Easeball League in the well-known bag. Beaten only once at this late date in the regular season schedule--that lone defeat inflicted by the Aristes Hillers early in the campaign the Mount Carmel club got over a big hump at the stadium here yesterday afternoon in wiping out a threat by another town team, Black Diamond, 6-2, before a nice fan-turnout.

It was the Sox' twelfth triumph in the loop, their ninth in a row since Aristes topped them. In going down, the opposing Spark lers tumbled to third place, Aristes moving up to again take- over the runnerup slot. Steve Brincash, he of Mount Car mel High football note, outdueled a pair of Black Diamond hurlers, Wisnewski, who was a surprise starter, and Larry Thomas, the Shamokin southpaw who had been one of the main reasons why the Sparklers climbed into a threatening position. At the finish line, Brincash had given up only three hits while he and his pals had collected off the combined slants of Wisnewski and Thomas, Ploppert showing the way with two. Star Lana hopped on Wisnewski for three runs in the very first frame and that, as later events proved, was really enough to settle matters.

Black Diamond drew close in the third, shoving across two runs, but the Sox came hack to tack on a run in their half of the third, another in the fifth and one in the seventh. Aubrey Alexander's outfit had its best chance to take things in hand in the top of the seventh when the Sparkies loaded the bags, with none out. Brincash, however, was up to the occasion. He struck out two and forced another to ground out, thus getting himself out of the tight Jam, and Joe (Boss) Bosewicz' bunch held sway the rest of the route. League headquarters, in an announcement today, reported that it was now official the last-place Cen-traiia Vagabonds had dropped out of the circuit because of inability to put a full team on the field.

The loop, therefore, will round out the schedule with seven clubs instead of the nine in there at the start. BLACK DIAMOND OUT BY DIAMO Babe, and a small one Is stuntttl, strictly second class. Unlike chickens, turkeys show an inclination to follow human belriys about, which makes for a problem during the fowl's early life. They must be taught to roast, something which comes natural to otbw birds. "The way you do it," revmls Babe, "is to sit on the turkey rwat every evening.

The turks wiB to the same thing. When they hks off you sneak away but you've got' to wait until they're asleep or they'll follow you right to your bedroom, After a week of this, they catch th idea." Anyone can see it will be ric to have Babe Herman back, for now the Dodgers have a turkey rancrer to go along with Ed Basinski, th concert violinist, and Dixie Walter, the house painter. Cl But who's going to sit on u-a roost with Babe's turkeys whil: The Star Lane Silks' 1945 indepen dent baseball record today stood at the .500 mark two wins against a pair of losses after a 5-2 victory over Cressona Ordnance at Schuyl kill Haven yesterday afternoon. Gradually finding themselves after a slow start this season, the Mount Carmel club blasted 12 hits off two Cressona pitchers, Rehrig and Moy er, while Albie Murin, who went all the way for the Silks, scattered nine among the Ordnance team, three of them by Billy, enemy leadoff man. Bolick and Herring, No.

1 and No. 2 men in the Star Lane batting order, clicked for a trio of base knocks apiece as Murin helped his own hurling cause by contributing two. Cressona held a 1-0 lead for four innings but the Silks took over 2-1 in the fifth and added three more in the seventh to sew up the game. The Ordnance nine picked up Its other run in the eighth. STAR LANE SILKS UNBEATEN GAP TEAM ADDS TO LOOP LEAD CUBS AND NATS ON WAY HOME AFTER HAUL WHILEONROAD Chicago Ousts Bums From National Top; Washington Second; Holmes Still Going BY CARL LCXDQUIST NEW YORK, July 9.

(U.R) The Cubs and Senators aren't encourage ing wartime travel but it was hard to deny today that it has done wonders for both teams. Homeward bound after brilliant road trips, both clubs now are in the thick of the pennant fights, the Cubs in first place in the National and the Senators in second in the American. When they took off on extended road junkets late in June, Chicago was in fifth and Washington In sixth. The Cubs, with 10 straight victories, have won 13 out of 16 games for the best road trip showing of any major league team this year. Washington, which won 16 out of 23 games on its trip, suffered a little loss of lustre by losing its two final games in St.

Louis Saturday and Sunday, the defeats ending a six- game winning streak. The Cubs finished their road stand with 12 to 6 and 9 to 2 victories over the Phillies yesterday. Powerful, plentiful hitting, the trade mark of their winning drive, gave them both victories. Phil Cavaretta, the team's leading hitter, paced the 14-hlt first game attack with a triple, a double and two singles when Stan Hack and Don Johnson made three hits each In the 16-hit second game. Ray PTlm, in a relief role, and Hany Wyse, who went the route in the second for his third victory on the trip, were the winners.

Harry Low-ery got a first game Cub homer. The Browns topped Washington, to 1, as Nelson Potter ended a seven-game losing streak with a six-hit job in a contest cut to seven innings by rain. Three runs in the second, followed by George Mc- Qulnn's homer in the third, spelled defeat for Marino Pieretti. The sec ond game was called off. The Cards dropped the Dodgers to second place in the National, with a pair of 6 to 4 wins.

Chortling Charley Barrett, who has become a tvnical "Gas-House" Cardinal since moving over from the Braves, laugh ed at the Dodgers in the opener as he sent them out of the lead they had held for 24 days. Ken Burk-hradt survived Dixie Walker's four run homer in the first inning of the second game and went on to win his ninth game. Barrett's victory was his 10th this season and eighth since joining the Cards. George Kurowski oactd the Cards in the final game with an inside-the-park homer and a triple. The Giants split with the Reds at New York when Bill Voiselle broke his losing complex in the nightcap (Continued on Page Eight) AMERICAN LEAGUE i'esterdav's Results Chicago, Philadelphia, 4.

(U.R When it's gas-house time in old Missouri, visitors can expect rough going at St. Loo. The spirt of the "Gas -House Gang" seems suddenly to have permeated Billy Southworth's bois-terious, cocky Cardinals who headed back to St. Louis today supremely confident of taking over the National League lead during their long home stand. No one came right out and said: "We'll take over the lead and we'll win the pennant for the fourth straight time." No one said this not even Manager Billy.

But the attitude of the entire Red Bird squad spoke louder than words as they celebrated with great din and thwacking horseplay in the Ebbets Field locker room after taking Sunday's double-header from the Dodgers in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. "There'll be no joy in Flatbush tonight," roared the celebrants who had knocked Brooklyn's "Bums" out of first place, meanwhile finishing their tour of seven cities with a bag 16 victories In 25 games. It had teen a very successful road trip, except for that three-game mishap at Boston. The Cards won three of four contests each from the Pirates, Cubs, Phillies, Giants and Dodgers end broke even in two encounters with the Reds. They averaged .640 ior invading the home fields of every other club In the league.

ETILL THIRD, THOUGH Despite this excellent road showing, the Cards are in third places one-half game behind Brooklyn and a game and a half behind the leading Cubs. The Cards have advanced only one notch in the standing and moved only one gam ecloser to the lead sineethey started their tour on June 15. There were two reasons for this: 1) The Cubs set a terrific road clip, winning 13 of 16; and (2) the Dodgers enjoyed such early-foot that on June 25 they had a first place lead of three and a half games. However, it was apparent in the locker room that the swashbuckling Cardinal players figure they at last have hit their championship stride and that they will take over the lead before their home stand ends on August 3. If they do, it will be the first time they have enjoyed top ranking this season.

The champions got off to a slow start and on May 27 for example were In fifth place, eight games off the pace. A reporter, surprised at the locker room jubilation, inquired of Bouthworth," "holy cripes! What has happened to your club? why this is. like the old Pepper Martin days." THEY FEEL GOOD Pilot Billy, attired only in a wide Erin as he towelled himself briskly before his locker said: "The boys feel pretty good about beating the Dodgers three out of four and t.bout the whole road trip. They've got fine spirit this bunch. They feel pretty confident." "What a'Dout you?" the reporter asked.

"Oh it's still anybody's race. We've got a good club fair pitching, pretty fair punch, fast afield raid fine spirit. We showed well on the road trip because It was the first time this season I've had most cf my regulars on the field at the tame time not all of them because Johnny Hcpp was hit In the head at Chicago and Just returned to regular play today. Marty Marion Just got sick. And some of the pitchers have had arm trouble Wilks, Brecheen and Dockins; also Creel hurt his thumb." South worth said he expected his stiffest competition from the Cnbs, Pirates and Dodgers.

The reporter remarked that he thought the Dodgers had been playing over their heads that mysterious wires had been holding up "the Bums." "Wires, hell!" exploded South-worth. "Those Dodgers ar a tough outfit to beat. That's why the boys are feeling so good about taking three from them." Pefrella, Venfresco Back Af Penn State STATE COLLEGE, July 9. (U.R) Two of Penn State's pre-war football greats Pepper Petrella and Ralph Ventresco are back on the campus but only Ventresco will be eligible to play this Fall. Petrella, of Dowington, was a radio operator in the Air Corps operating in the Burma-China Theater.

He completed his athletic career as a bantam back in 1941. He was returned to finish work on a degree he was seeking when war interrupted his studies. Ventresco, of Pitcairn, was a member of the 45th Infantry Division which landed in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Southern Prance. He still has two years of athletic competition left as a hard-hitting hick. A grimly bear can outrun horse in a 100-yard uash.

July 9. U.R) Crinkly-nosed Cpl. Fritzie 2Uvic paced himself through final workouts to day confident he ill. beat Ossle (Bulldog) Harris in their ten-round headliner at Hickey Park tomorrow It will be Fritzie's 200th professional fight of his 14-year ring career. "I beat him three times before and I certainly won't let him sneak one in, the Corporal said.

The ex-welterweight champion, home on a 30-day furlough, said the fight will mark his last ring appear ance at Hickey Park. I wanted to get just one more bout there. That was why I turned down $6000 to fight in Milwaukee this week. I guess that's being pret ty sentimental and foolish but now that I own the place I have sort of an attachment for it. And I'm not referring to the deed either.

In three previous fights with the Bulldog, Fritzie kayoed the husky dusky twice and came ofl with the decision. Since their last meeting the Bulldog has done quite well having won decisions over Tommy Bell and Cowboy Shank, both of whom beat Zivic in the past year. Fritzie was unscathed in his encounter with the Cowboy last Tuesday at Forbes Field. He gave Shank a rough time in the latter rounds but the Denver Cowboy came off with the split decision. In the preliminary lineup Fred Bailey, Uniontown light heavyweight will meet Willie Davis, of Youngs-town, in a four-rounder.

Johnny Villanova, a new Zivic importation from San Antonio, will meet Eenry Prf.tt, local lightweight in a six rounder.

Beaudry was a patient in 1935 at Maridale Sanatorium in Milwaukee with a lung ailment and attending physicians said he probably never would be able to walk again.

How ever, he made a gradual recovery. Second place in the competition at Brookdale County Park went to Lt. Charles New Orleans Athletic with 5,850 points. Richard N. Schnaeke of Mas- sena, N.Y., Athletic Association was third with 5,623 points-, Nathaniel Boyd of Philadelphia, fourth with 5,169.

(U.R) Billy Talbert today added the National Clay Courts Men's Singles Championship to the two other tennis titles he has annexed this season as a result of his win over defending champion Francisco i.Pan- cho) Segura. Talbert, ranked No.

2 nationally, avenged his title defeat of last year by winning from Segura in yesterday's five-set finale, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. Talbert is from Wilmington, Del. In the women's Division, second-seeded Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, Los Angeles, who has been away from the game for the last three years, handed Pauline Betz, Los Angeles, tier second straight title defeat, 6-3, 7-5. Talbert's victory over Segura gave him a slight edge in their deep-root ed rivalry.

Talbert defeated the Ecu- dadorean in the Middle States and Delaware tourney final and gained second championship in the Tri-State meet last week while Segura was winning the N.C.A.A. Talbert eliminated Pancho in the all-important nationals at Forest Hills, N. last year after losing to him in in three earlier meets.

Nines Is Rated Real Dark Horse DAYTON, July 9.

About 150 of America's top pros. the largest field in the history of this celebrated golfing classic, open the 36-hole qualifying scramble with 18 holes today over the rolling Mor aine Country Club And, while Byron Nelson is rated the man to beat, Hines is considered one of his most dangerous challengers because in golf, champions do come back. Hines, a former Ryder Cup player and one of the hottest golfers in the land back in the middle 30's, has become an 'executive golfer" of late, attending more to golf business than tournament play.

As chairman of the P.G.A. tournament committee, Hines helped revise the Moraine course for this championship. Laughingly, he said he "built the course for my game" and he backed up that wisecrack yesterday by whistling a seven-under-par 65 over the course to take first prize in the $1,000 pre-tournament warm-up.

Police said the men had a total of approximately $5,000 on their persons. Seized in the field bleachers during the seventh inning of the first game between the Phillies and the Chicago Cubs, police said, the men had been gambling on strikes and balls, hits and runs and even the next kind of play to be made. 9 R.
